Gave myself a quickie

Thank you Rebecca (http://www.thepaintedpear.com) for inspiring me to try something just with line and form. After looking at your site today, I definitely grew hungry to do a selfie with a more accurate interpretation of self. Of course accurate and interpretation may not balance to all, but to me they are inclusive and as real as it gets.

Anyway, no color necessary and a welcome adventure into the black, using my handmade paper. Yes, it was a quickie for me.

I volunteer as a design and communications consultant with Family Scholar House in Louisville, Kentucky, http://www.familyscholarhouse.org the Democratic Socialists of America http://www.dsausa.org and teach children with emotional and developmental disabilities.

I have degrees in art and was an art director for 30 years.

cool to see the pure line. i like the perspective with the glass. i wish i could do a selfie, but i’m so vain i’d make it look better than i look in real life and then not be happy with it because it wasn’t accurate and … you get the idea.

you certainly have been busy and I have been non existent I know….my bad! But I love this….your use of line is original and accurate and precise! I am touched at my influence on this study…my self portraits have been far from accurate or even legible. But who knows….beauty is in the eye of the beholder, whether real or 2d….and your 2d is excellent!
